Quran on Ramadan 
(and Fasting, Taraweeh prayers)
           
(1) The month 
of ramadan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for mankind and clear 
proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong). So whoever 
of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the month (of ramadan i.e. is 
present at his home), he must observe Saum (fasts) that month, and whoever is 
ill or on a journey, the same number [of days which one did not observe Saum 
(fasts) must be made up] from other days. Allah intends for you ease, and He 
does not want to make things difficult for you. (He wants that you) must 
complete the same number (of days), and that you must magnify Allah [i.e. to say 
Takbir (Allahu Akbar; Allah is the Most Great] for having guided you so that you 
may be grateful to Him. 
(Al-Baqara, 
Chapter #2, Verse #185)
(2) Verily, 
the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam) men and women, the believers 
men and women (who believe in Islamic Monotheism), the men and the women who are 
obedient (to Allah), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and 
deeds), the men and the women who are patient (in performing all the duties 
which Allah has ordered and in abstaining from all that Allah has forbidden), 
the men and the women who are humble (before their Lord - Allah), the men and 
the women who give Sadaqat (i.e. Zakat, and alms), the men and the women who 
observe Saum (fast) (the obligatory fasting during the month of ramadan, and the 
optional Nawafil fasting), the men and the women who guard their chastity (from 
illegal sexual acts) and the men and the women who remember Allah much with 
their hearts and tongues Allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a great 
reward (i.e. Paradise). 
(Al-Ahzab, 
Chapter #33, Verse #35)
(3) We sent 
it (this Qur'an) down on a blessed night [(i.e. night of Al-Qadr, Surah No. 97) 
in the month of ramadan - the 9th month of the Islamic calendar]. Verily, We are 
ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our 
Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship]. 
(Ad-Dukhan, 
Chapter #44, Verse #3)
(1) O you who 
believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was 
prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious - 
See V.2: 2). 
(Al-Baqara, 
Chapter #2, Verse #183)
(2) O you who 
believe! Kill not the game while you are in a state of Ihram [for Hajj or 'Umrah 
(pilgrimage)], and whosoever of you kills it intentionally, the penalty is an 
offering, brought to the Ka'bah, of an eatable animal (i.e. sheep, goat, cow) 
equivalent to the one he killed, as adjudged by two just men among you; or, for 
expiation, he should feed Masakin (poor persons), or its equivalent in Saum 
(fasting), that he may taste the heaviness (punishment) of his deed. Allah has 
forgiven what is past, but whosoever commits it again, Allah will take 
retribution from him. And Allah is All-Mighty, All-Able of Retribution. 
(Al-Maeda, 
Chapter #5, Verse #95)
(3) Verily, 
the Muslims (those who submit to Allah in Islam) men and women, the believers 
men and women (who believe in Islamic Monotheism), the men and the women who are 
obedient (to Allah), the men and women who are truthful (in their speech and

(4) It may be 
if he divorced you (all) that his Lord will give him instead of you, wives 
better than you - Muslims (who submit to Allah), believers, obedient (to Allah), 
turning to Allah in repentance, worshipping Allah sincerely, given to fasting or 
emigrants (for Allah's sake), previously married and virgins. 
(At-Tahrim, 
Chapter #66, Verse #5)
(5) Verily, 
your Lord knows that you do stand (to pray at night) a little less than two 
thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and also a 
party of those with you. And Allah measures the night and the day. He knows that 
you are unable to pray the whole night, so He has turned to you (in mercy). So, 
recite you of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knows that there 
will be some among you sick, others travelling through the land, seeking of 
Allah's Bounty, yet others fighting in Allah's Cause. So recite as much of the 
Qur'an as may be easy (for you), and perform As-Salat (Iqamat-as-Salat ) and 
give Zakat, and lend to Allah a goodly loan. And whatever good you send before 
you for yourselves (i.e. Nawafil non-obligatory acts of worship: prayers, 
charity, fasting, Hajj and 'Umrah), you will certainly find it with Allah, 
better and greater in reward. And seek Forgiveness of Allah. Verily, Allah is 
Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful . 
(Al-Muzzammil, Chapter #73, Verse #20)
(6) The Day 
when all the secrets (deeds, prayers, fasting, etc.) will be examined (as to 
their truth). 
(At-Tariq, 
Chapter #86, Verse #9)
